Neither is a MIPS architecture processor -- they are legacy MIPS III and
MIPS IV processors, respectively, and as such do not have a MIPS-compliant
set of CP0 Config registers nor they support the select specifier for
coprocessor transfer operations (although unlike some earlier
implementations they do have a CP0.Config register). Watchpoint support
would have to be done specifically for them; as I have a moderate interest
in it and I have R4000/R4400 hardware, I may look into it eventually (but
then, I have meant so for some last six years or so, so...). The same
applies to the R4650 which defines watchpoints in yet a different way, but
that one does not have an MMU, so we can safely skip it for the time
being.
